Lady Huskers win by 33 Points; 90-57 :Cheer2: :Cheer2: :Cheer2: Probably the most complete game by the Huskers since the 90- 67 Win over Maryland on Dec 4th.

Shooting FG's 59% vs 34% for Illinois, Won the Rebound battle 44-24, Points in the Paint: 46-18, and controlled the turnovers in the 2nd half, 9 vs 6 for Maryland for the full game. In addition Huskers were heating up the 3-point game, 10-24 (42%) vs 6-26 (23%) for Illinois. :Cheer2: :Gobigred:

FINAL STATS: (Every one of the Husker Starters was in Double Figures!!! :Bow: )

Watched the rest on my phone. What a performance! The Ladies rocked!

This was a top 25 win on the friggin' road! That will go a long way for them.

Again, congrats, Huskers!! :Huskerflag: :Rockon::Hooray::Balloons::Cheers:
 
The husker ladies’ defense really had IL stressed. IL being ice cold was helpful as well. Those things in conjunction with NU’s crazy shooting percentage was a perfect store. When our ladies are on it is so much fun to watch.

That was a big win! The upset win should get us back into the tourney bracket!

I think it is a long shot after the Minnesota loss. An 8th place finish likely means a conference tournament game against MSU. Seems like that will be a must win. If we then beat the one seed in the quarterfinals I think we are in. But if not, it is probably too many teams to climb past.

I agree the Huskers need to win one, maybe two, games in the tournament to get in. The good news is that I think they're definitely capable of that. They could, and probably should, have beaten Indiana on the road in January.

Now the bad news. I didn't realize this until today, but Caitlin Clark can't declare for the WNBA draft after this season. Page Bueckers is eligible because she was born in October 2001. Clark was born in January 2002, so she's not eligible until 2024. So, unfortunately, she'll play in Lincoln one more time.
 
(Summarizing some comments I've seen elsewhere on the Win over Illinois)

* Brutalized them on the boards 44-24 - only 9 turnovers might be an even bigger story.

* D was really solid; offense was executing at peak performance. We got more inside baskets tonight with drives for layups and sharp passing to our bigs for buckets. (Keep on Driving to the basket)

* Illinois is double teaming Markowski, but not other centers or Issie...Our inside game is hurting them.

* Q1 we played man to man defense. Q2 we played zone and stopped their guards from getting easy buckets, they had to take harder shots away from the basket. Sometimes we don't seem to play good man to man.

* Its the only 2 games we have held the turnovers down, played defense and made mid range shots in the same game.

* Stewart has a nice mid range shot, but we don’t seem to play to her strengths. Nice if Coley could develop a mid range shot.
